In 2007, Jeff got his first taste of the Arctic when as a Stanford student he worked as a videographer with National Geographic photographer James Balog on the initial expedition of The Extreme Ice Survey (or EIS).

That winter, the EIS team scouted and filmed glaciers that now appear in the recent documentary feature film Chasing Ice.

Chasing Ice follows National Geographic photographer James Balog across the Arctic as he deploys time-lapse cameras designed for one purpose: to capture a multi-year record of the world's changing glaciers.
